UL 1709.-   Rapid Rise Fire Tests of Protection Materials for Structural Steel

1 Scope

http://ulstandardsinfonet.ul.com/catalog/stdscatframe.html        (UL Standards for Safety)

1.1 These requirements describe a test method measuring the resistance of protective materials to rapid-temperature-rise fires.

1.2 The test method covers a full-scale fire exposure, intended to evaluate the thermal resistance of protective material applied to structural members and the ability of the protective material to withstand the fire exposure.

1. Scope

1.1 The test methods described in this fire-test-response standard are applicable to assemblies of masonry units and to composite assemblies of structural materials for buildings, including bearing and other walls and partitions, columns, girders, beams, slabs, and composite slab and beam assemblies for floors and roofs. They are also applicable to other assemblies and structural units that constitute permanent integral parts of a finished building.

1.2 It is the intent that classifications shall register performance during the period of exposure and shall not be construed as having determined suitability for use after fire exposure.

1.3 This standard should be used to measure and describe the response of materials, products, or assemblies to heat and flame under controlled conditions and should not be used to describe or appraise the fire-hazard or fire-risk of materials, products, or assemblies under actual fire conditons. However, results of the test may be used as elements of a fire-hazard assessment or a fire-risk assessment which takes into account all of the factors which are pertinent to an assessment of the fire hazard or fire risk of a particular end use.

Note 1-A method of fire hazard classification based on rate of flame spread is covered in Test Method E84.

1.4 The results of these tests are one factor in assessing fire performance of building construction and assemblies. These test methods prescribe a standard fire exposure for comparing the performance of building construction assemblies. Application of these test results to predict the performance of actual building construction requires careful evaluation of test conditions.

1.5 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.

1.6 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

They also shall apply to other assemblies and structural units that constitute permanent integral parts of a finished building.

 1-1.2* It is the intention of this standard that classifications be based on performance during the period of exposure and shall not be used to determine suitability for use after fire exposure.

These methods prescribe a standard fire exposure for comparing the performance of building construction assemblies.
